Dialysis runner eyeing more challenges

· Yahoo Sports

A man who claims he set an unofficial record for the fastest marathon by a person on dialysis says he is eyeing more running challenges.

Cameron Frazer, from Shrewsbury, completed the Manchester Marathon over the weekend in a time of four hours 29 minutes and believes the previous fastest time was five hours 15 minutes.

Along with other members of the Dialysis Dashers running group, he was able to raise more than £16,000 for Kidney Care UK.

He said he was now looking to see if there were records for the half-marathon, 10 kilometre and five kilometre races, but added: "I think I'll stop there. I don't think anyone wants to see me do 100m."

Frazer said he had been an active runner before being diagnosed with vasculitis, a rare and aggressive autoimmune condition.

The 36-year-old spent months in hospital receiving treatment and is now learning to live with dialysis and waiting for a kidney transplant.

He said he wanted to take part in the marathon to show "what's possible when you refuse to be limited by circumstance".

Frazer said he had a "great time" at the marathon.

"Even at the pub after, everyone's families were there, it was super," he said.
